#249: Florida blueberry farmer Hugh Kent of King Grove Organic Farm shares the story of how corporate power and USDA negligence nearly drove his organic farm out of business - and how he saved it through direct marketing. Speaking at the Saving Real Organic conference at Churchtown Dairy, Hugh connects the dots between monopoly economics, antitrust failures, hydroponic loopholes, and the collapse of fair markets for soil-grown fruit. His talk exposes how imported, plastic-based “organic” blueberries from Mexico and Peru have replaced real soil-based farms in America - and what it will take to rebuild a fair, honest marketplace for both farmers and eaters.https://realorganicproject.org/hugh-kent-saving-real-organic-direct-marketing-248The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

Tara uncovers staggering fraud in America's welfare system, revealing how illegal immigrants and non-working adults are exploiting SNAP benefits. In 29 states that complied with reporting, over half a million duplicate beneficiaries, 5,000 deceased recipients, and an estimated 80% of able-bodied Americans on welfare were found in violation of federal law. Tara highlights the proactive work of former Trump USDA Secretary Brook Grell in removing hundreds of thousands from the rolls and cracking down on corruption. She also explains how these systemic abuses are used to pad political power and perpetuate dependency, showing why reform is crucial for the future of American taxpayers.

We've been waiting for the USDA crop production and supply & demand reports for a while. And now we have them.

Today, we dig into fresh USDA data pointing to waste, fraud, and mismanagement inside SNAP, including duplicate recipients and even payments tied to the deceased. We walk through what that means for taxpayers and for families who truly need help. Then we tackle the Trump administration's push to designate Antifa-linked groups as foreign terrorist organizations and why the Left insists Antifa is “just an idea.” Finally, we break down a striking Gallup finding: 40% of young liberal women say they'd move out of America if they could. What's fueling the disillusionment, and what does it say about our culture? Conservative, not bitter—straight talk, good humor, and practical truth to end your week.

Discover Lafayette welcomes Kent Zerangue, the founder of Food With Love, “a heart centered ministry of Hospice of Acadiana” that he first began in July 2017 when he offered to cook for a former classmate whose son had been diagnosed with a brain bleed. Kent had retired in March of 2017 with plans to open a catering business, but he experienced an epiphany that overshadowed any need to make money. He shares in our interview how his parents were devout followers of Jesus Christ and consistently demonstrated love to their family, neighbors, and community through their actions in helping and praying for others. Kent's culinary journey with Hospice of Acadiana was jumpstarted by a simple meal of shrimp and okra gumbo. When he was 18, a neighbor's daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. The young woman loved the delicious shrimp and okra gumbo Kent's mom would make, and he said, "Ican still see my mom walking through the thick St. Augustine grass to bring Debra her shrimp and okra gumbo, and more importantly, to be present for a family in need." Fast forward years later when Kent's dad was in hospice care and a family friend came over with "shrimp and okra gumbo. The comfort that meal delivered was indescribable. This gumbo filled my stomach, but more importantly, this meal---this simple act of bringing food---placed unspeakable joy in my heart during a most difficult time." Kent knew his retirement plans had to change. He decided to put aside notions of making a profit and begin cooking for families in need. Since then, Food with Love has grown dramatically in its outreach, mobilizing volunteers to prepare and deliver “delicious, comforting, home cooked meals to patients and their families,” providing nourishment, dignity, and what Kent describes as “a tangible that our community cares about.” Kent Zerangue assisted a longtime friend, Claire from his school days, when her 34-year old son was diagnosed with a brain bleed. He provided meals for the family while her son was in treatment in Houston. Kent shared that afterward, he began cooking for other families in need. By the end of his first year in cooking service, several other families were added to the food chain. When he saw Claire in person for the first time in 40 years she said "Kent, you are providing food with love!" Thus the name of the ministry was born. From One Family to 135 Families Kent began by cooking for one family, and within months, support and demand grew: “Over the first nine months or six months, we ended up with ten families.” His early recipients included “ALS patients… terminally ill, long term Parkinson's.” “None of them were in hospice care. They just knew that I was cooking.” By February 2018, Kent approached Hospice of Acadiana to officially offer meals:“I kind of got my sea legs under me a little bit. And then they started giving me families.” By the end of 2018, he served about 60 families. Today, Food With Love serves about 135 families, preparing approximately 800 meals a week. The simple, profound message is "Jesus loves you. Jesus has always loved you. Jesus will never abandon you." The Move From His Backyard to a Commercial Kitchen For over 7 years, Kent cooked from his backyard commercial kitchen. Volunteers arrived naturally—“I had this lady call me one day…‘I've been watching you for about a year… Can I come volunteer?' I didn't even know I needed a volunteer.” Eventually he approached then-CEO Kacee Thompson of Hospice of Acadiana: “Do we want food with love to be something that continues for the long term? Her response was, “Absolutely.” She later called him saying, “Are you ready to start fundraising?” A space had become available on the side of Hospice of Acadiana, on the corner of Johnston and Christopher Street. Kent shared: “In less than 11 weeks, we had raised $1 million.” The kitchen is now fully paid for, USDA-approved, and equipped with the finest of equipment.

U.S. Officials Confirm Beef Packers Are Under Investigation U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins confirmed that the Justice Department is investigating U.S. beef packers for antitrust issues. In posts to X (formerly Twitter), both Trump administration cabinet members seconded the president's Friday TruthSocial post, which alleged beef packers are “driving up the price of Beef through Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation.” Trump further alleged that “Majority Foreign Owned Meat Packers” were inflating food prices and jeopardizing “the security of our Nation's food supply.” The meat institute issued their statement on the beef processing sector DOJ investigation by saying despite high consumer prices for beef, beef packers have been losing money because the price of cattle is at record highs.  For more than a year, beef packers have been operating at a loss due to a tight cattle supply and strong demand.  The meat institute said the beef industry is heavily regulated, and market transactions are transparent. The government's own data from USDA confirms that the beef packing sector is experiencing catastrophic losses and experts predict this will continue into 2026. U.S. beef processors welcome a fact-based discussion about beef affordability and how best to meet the needs of American consumers, who are the industry's most important stakeholders.

Iowa Senator Charles Grassley doesn't expect Congress to dictate how USDA offers financial assistance to farmers this year. Grassley told reporters he hopes China keeps their word on soybean purchases. Commodity prices fall after record yields are forecast for this year. 

The November 14 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured Ian LeMay, President of the California Table Grape Commission, in a wide-ranging discussion with hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill about California's thriving table grape season, global trade challenges, and the pride of representing one of the state's most iconic crops. LeMay described this year as “a fair season” overall, with high-quality fruit, steady demand, and continued harvest stretching through Thanksgiving. “We had a really moderate spring and summer that allowed the fruit to mature beautifully on the vine,” he said. “Growers have done everything possible to deliver a high-quality crop, and we still have promotable volume through December.” The conversation highlighted how California growers continue to lead the world in both innovation and consistency. “We're growing more than 80 varieties of table grapes now,” LeMay said. “Since 1982, the Commission has partnered with the USDA to bring new, longer-lasting, better-tasting varieties to market.” He praised the role of technology and automation, noting that the industry is evolving quickly. “From robotics to new breeding programs, agriculture is attracting computer scientists and engineers — not just agronomists,” he said. LeMay's enthusiasm for his work was evident. “It's a huge point of pride to represent this industry,” he said. “California table grapes are grown by families who've been doing this for generations with integrity and care. When I walk into a meeting overseas, I know I'm representing the best fruit in the world.” While California's domestic market remains strong — with more than 70% of grapes staying in the U.S. — LeMay continues to travel globally, promoting the state's fruit in over 20 countries. “There's real confidence in California table grapes,” he said. “Buyers know what they're getting — quality, safety, and consistency.” The discussion also turned to tariffs and regulation. LeMay said the current U.S. tariff policies have not yet significantly impacted table grapes but emphasized that global trade remains unpredictable. He also addressed the challenges of farming in California's heavily regulated environment. “Yes, the costs are higher — from labor to pesticide regulation — but that's also our badge of honor,” he said. “When buyers purchase California grapes, they can have full confidence that they're getting the highest standards in the world.” Both Papagni and McGill praised LeMay for his leadership and passion. “Ian's the kind of representative California agriculture needs,” Papagni said. “He's professional, positive, and never afraid to tell it like it is.” McGill added, “California consumers vote for higher standards — now it's time to support that by buying California-grown.” As the holidays approach, LeMay encouraged listeners to keep California grapes on their tables. “They're still in stores, they're sweet, and they're healthy,” he said. “If you don't have California grapes at Thanksgiving or Christmas, you're missing out.”

As the harvest comes to a close, many farms are already negotiating their land rental agreements for 2026. Kelly Wilfert, UW-Extension Legal Specialist, says that getting things in writing is really critical. In speaking with Jill Welke, she says simple things like hunting rights during a lease should be written down. It protects not only the renter, but also the property owner. Warmer temperatures on the way, but don't get too comfortable. That's the advice of Stu Muck. Wisconsin will get back to feeling more "normal" temperatures at the beginning of next week. While the government is officially reopening, the workload that federal employees and agencies will have to overcome is large. Kiley Allan finds out about how the shutdown impacted growing season research with Dr. Shawn Conely, UW-Extension Soybean Specialist. Conley says a lot of the end-of-season harvest data was a "guess" without USDA's National Ag Statistical Service. What's more concerning to him is the delay in grant funding that's happened because of the shutdown. The talk/text line has been alive with activity from listeners sharing their Northern Light experiences. It's perfect timing since we're experiencing a solar maximum. What is it? Ben Jarboe finds out with Shawn Dahl, service coordinator with the Space Weather Prediction Center. If you've had issues this week with your phone, GPS, or yield monitor - this might explain it. Some USDA information trickled into the marketplace this week and it wasn't good news for dairy. Jenny Wackershauser, dairy analyst with EverAg in Platteville, joins Pam Jahnke to talk about the latest milk production numbers. While the market knew there would be growth, she says milk production went up over 4%. That was a surprise. Wackershauser goes on to note that there's still plant expansion happening in some regions, giving a "home" for that expanded milk. Internationally she says they're still hearing positive sales, but with the government reporting coming back online, that proof is yet to be shown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it might be wise to start shopping for deals. Ben Jarboe gets the scoop from Ashley Kohl, executive director of the MN Turkey Growers about how HPAI has impacted their overall flock. Kohl says grocery prices may not necessarily reflect the stress that the industry experienced late in 2025 since birds are used as a magnet to draw people into the grocery store.Stu Muck says there will be a warm-up coming later this week. It'll be small, but it's something!The president of one of the largest farm organization's speaking out on behalf of the nation's dairy producers. Zippy Duvall, President of the American Farm Bureau Federation, says passing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids act would be a real shot in the arm for the dairy industry and kids' nutrition. Duvall says the act would overturn restrictions that USDA has in place allowing only fat-free and 1% lowfat milk in schools. Duvall says with record milk production on pace for 2025, it would not only help with fluid milk production - it would also help with child nutrition.While the Whole Milk act is a federal matter, there are still plenty of policy directives moving in Madison. Stephanie Hoff finds out about a few from Chad Zuelger, executive director of the Dairy Business Association. Among their priorities advocating for a grazing initiative in the state and establishing a grant program to support transition practices. He also notes that they continue to work at creating strong working relationships with state natural resources groups. If you're a fan of TikTok, you may already know Andrew Christenson.

Today's Headlines: The government shutdown just passed 40 days, but there's finally a flicker of hope: the Senate reached a tentative deal to reopen the government through January, with at least 10 Democrats agreeing to back a short-term funding bill in exchange for a vote next month on extending Obamacare tax credits—a proposal many Democrats previously called “laughable.” Meanwhile, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked a lower court's order requiring the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits, and Trump's USDA quickly told states to stop processing payments. Trump also floated a flurry of financial gimmicks over the weekend—like 50-year mortgages, direct cash “subsidies,” and a $2,000 tariff dividend—while his own Treasury Secretary contradicted him on national TV. Abroad, Trump met with Hungary's Viktor Orbán, granting him a sanctions exemption on Russian oil in exchange for $600 million in U.S. gas contracts. The shutdown is also stalling weapons sales to Ukraine and NATO allies and causing massive flight delays ahead of Thanksgiving. Elsewhere, Cornell struck a controversial deal with the administration to restore funding after discrimination probes, Florida sued Planned Parenthood over abortion pill safety (again, against all science), and in Virginia, a 19-year-old college student beat his former high school teacher in a local election—proving democracy sometimes delivers sequels no one saw coming.
